We've just got Netflix after dd finally wore us down. So far we've really enjoyed The Sinner series 1 and 2. What else do yo recommend? I prefer drama type stuff and am not really into Sci Fi.

Bates Motel is great too.

Unbelievable
Frozen Dead
Le Mante
Bonfire of Destiny (don't be fooled by trashy sounding name, it's a brilliant French period drama with lots of intrigue, political, relationship elements with excellent cast)

SerenDippitty · 14/01/2020 10:56

Breaking Bad
High Seas
Top of the Lake
Alias Grace

And Criminal Uk, first episode was great so need to watch the rest. The other country ones are well reviewed too

I'm watching the Messiah now. Getting good.

TheNestedIf · 14/01/2020 17:19

I'm being massively entertained by AJ And The Queen, which was newly out a few days ago.

Undone - the best thing I have seen in ages. Don't let the rotoscoping put you off (I found it worked really well with the story). It's on Amazon Prime though rather than Netflix
The Last Ship - action adventure, very gripping and several seasons to get through - may also be on Prime, I forget!

Dogno1 · 15/01/2020 02:07

I'm back on to watching Prison Break and Breaking Bad. My problem is series that go on for so many seasons lose their way to just become filler fodder. Massively enjoy the first 1-3, then my interest dwindles off 😒

TanteRose · 15/01/2020 02:22

Black Mirror
Mindhunter
Haunting of Hill House (must watch it again - as PP mentioned, there must be sooo many things you miss the first time round)

Giri/Haji - so good!

and a Danish series called Rita - highly recommended (by someone on MN) - about a school teacher, it's really great!
